Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
Fran Kirby
Former Chelsea forward on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stamford Bridge
From a Chelsea perspective it was a great goal. In terms of the counter pressure, in terms of taking the shot and in terms of the reaction. But as a goalkeeper, I would prefer the ball to go out for a corner rather than come back into the pitch.

Arsenal completely dominated but have nothing to show for their work.

This is poor from Arsenal. You'd expect better from a Champion League winning club.
Florence, Leeds
Renee Slegers will be gone by the end of the season - she’s on thin ice already after another terrible start. Arsenal’s expectations are too high, this can’t keep happening.
AJ, London
Arsenal have to take their chances when they get them especially against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.

Arsenal started the game so much more in control, so fluid. They way they were moving, the way they were passing the ball, you just expected them to score. They had no clear-cut chances or shot on targets, but the dominance they did have, they needed to do something with it.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
That'll do it for the first half.
Arsenal started quick out of the blocks, but for all their possession and pressure, couldn't create any clear chances.
Chelsea grew into the half and took their first big chance through Alyssa Thompson.
This has been an engrossing watch.

Lucy Bronze goes into the book for bringing down Alessia Russo as Arsenal looked to break.
That's two yellow cards in quick succession for Chelsea, both for full-backs.

I think Sonia Bompastor was trying not to laugh at Katie McCabe's booking...

That's really silly from McCabe. She knows what she's getting from the crowd behind and she's soaking it up. That's a really silly booking.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
Katie McCabe gets pelters from the Arsenal fans as she walks over to take a corner.
She takes too long for the referee's liking, who walks over and books her.

Melvine Malard wastes a great chance to double Chelsea's lead!
Ellie Carpenter plays a superb ball down the right flank and Malard has the freedom of the half to run into.
She gets into the box but takes a touch slightly wide, which narrows her angle and Anneke Borbe saves at her near post.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
After making plenty of noise for much of this first half, the travelling Arsenal fans are now receiving plenty of stick from the home supporters.

It's fantastic from Chelsea, in terms of defence, and Alyssa Thompson is there and she's alert. She's on her toes, and Emily Fox is caught sleeping.

It's not a huge surprise to see Chelsea take the lead despite all of Arsenal's dominance.
The Gunners haven't done much with the ball and Chelsea on occasions have threatened.
Sonia Bompastor was barking at Ellie Carpenter to press, she did and forced the mistake. It's a catalogue of defensive errors and Chelsea capitalise.

It's been coming and Arsenal getting caught playing out from the back. It's really sloppy and the pressure comes from Malard.
It is exactly what Chelsea have been waiting for and Thompson makes no mistake.
Alyssa Thompson (39 mins)
Chelsea lead and it's a gift!
Arsenal defender Steph Catley is caught playing out from the back and Melvine Malard pounces.
The striker tees up Keira Walsh at the edge of the box whose shot is parried by Anneke Borbe, but only into the path of Alyssa Thompson who smashes in the rebound.
Chelsea have built some pressure in the past few minutes - unlike Arsenal, they made it count.

Chelsea youngster Lexi Potter escapes some Arsenal pressure and finds Alyssa Thompson on the left.
The American winger cuts inside and shoots, but it's straight at Anneke Borbe.
